The claim by the researcher that Louis Brognier de Clouet received a Spanish land grant in 1777 presents a bit of a problem since Louis Jean Laurent Brognier de Clouet was not born until Feb 06, 1766.

And since his father, Alexandre Francois Joseph de Clouet de Piedre, was the first of the name to come to Louisiana, and he did not marry Marie Anne "Louise" de Favrot until 1761, there is no opportunity for a de Clouet to have been old enough to have received a land grant in 1777, other than the father.

Really? Care to explain that? Also, in case you didn't know, Louisiana became part of the United States in 1803. The official language of that country is English. Besides, Cajun culture was NEVER a part of New Orleans history.

True to form, bulldozers were there early this morning doing demo work on the remains. So much for an investigation of arson!

Reverend Moses Gordon sain in an intervier he never DREAMED something like this could happen. Really? An abandoned building since Katrina? He never dreamed vagrants could start a fire and burn it down? That's weird.

My Bad, sorry
The church was designed by Diboll, Owen and Goldstein (Collins Cerre' Diboll, Allison Owen and Moise Goldstein) Diboll was once on the board of directors of the church. Allison Owen was once the commander of the famed Washington Artillery. The firm designed buildings, especially churches, throughout Louisiana and as far west as Portland, Oregon, and Kansas City, Missouri

The church was designed in 1901 by Benjamin Morgan Harrod, born in New Orleans in 1837. In 1884, he designed Gibson Hall, Tulane University's main building, and also some of the Italianate fire houses. In 1888, Harrod became City Engineer of New Orleans. While serving as City Engineer, Harrod drafted the levels of the water and sewerage systems that were utilized when those systems were put under construction.

So, the church had historic aspects to it. The house next door was a 1871 classic that is now lost also.

Shame on these people for allowing these New Orleans treasures to be destroyed by neglect.
